BOOKS
The Miracle Morning, The 6 Habits That Will Transform Your Life Before 8AM
By Hal Elrod
This book aims to show readers that they can wake up every single day with more energy, motivation and focus and take life to the next level.
Author Hal Elrod is a living example of this. At 20 years old, he was in a head-on collision with a drunk driver, and was dead for six minutes. Doctors told his parents that if he was to ever wake from his coma, he would have permanent brain damage and may never walk again.
After six days in his coma, Hal proved that we all have the ability to overcome any obstacle. He started to walk again, then became a marathon runner, businessman, international keynote speaker, success coach, husband, father, musician and multiple-time #1 best selling author.
